I still look at your picture on the wall I never could take it down even after I knew you were gone I kept all of your letters to me bound in a velvet ribbon… the same sweet softness you had in your eyes when you looked at me each evening when we shared our experiences of the day I keep the recording I have of your voice on the answering machine I listen to it tell me you love me and that you'll be home soon… the waiting is over but you didn't come back even though there were only two days left to cross off on the calendar I live with your silver chain around my neck, the clasp welded holding the charms that were not charmed though they were your identity In my dreams I hold you tight against me once more before you leave and remember your kiss… some nights I still awaken with a scream trapped in my heart the same one that I heard when they knocked on my door dressed in uniforms the same blue as the midnight that finds me missing you…and they said "we regret to inform you…" your last I love you echoes through the empty bed while I wait for this war so long past to finally be over that I may rest again in the arms of my soldier caroline all rights reserved  Thanks to pen of passion for a new title.------------------ The only man worth your tears will never make you cry... |

How terrifying ... expressively written, I commend you ... ------------------ "Nunc lento sonitu dicunt, morierus" (Now as I hear this bell tolling softly for another, it says to me, "Thou must die.") |
